Deleting corrupt/bad songs in iTunes

JCDUB · 24-09-2008 06:23PM #1

Hi,

I was transferring music from an external hard drive and forgot to copy it all into the "itunes music" folder in my documents, then when I unplugged my hard drive all of the songs became Fooked, for want of a better word:mad:
(They all have the ! in the 1st column:eek:)
I want to delete them all without having to manually highlight them, as there is over 60Gb, and just start again from scratch.
I have also duplicated some music and there are obviously two copies of a lot of stuff there.
Is there a way I can
1)Delete all tunes which "don't work" in one go?
and
2)Delete all tunes which I have two copies of in one go?

Apologies for my ignorance, it's probably quite easy:(

Thanks in advance for your help on this one.

John

If you highlight one of the songs and press ctrl and a at the same time, it will highlight all the songs. Press delete and it will come up with remove or cancel. Just select remove, it will then ask if you want to keep the files or move to recycle bin. Select "keep" if you want to try add the folder of music again or "move to recycle bin" if you want to staart again from scratch getting the music of the hard drive. I'd try the "keep" option first as this could sort it
